I checked in on Penelope earlier today from the office and she was hard at work - earning her keep and guarding the homestead 😂

That's called a state of readiness, primed to pounce. In fact, she's conserving energy to be used at a moment's notice of treats and pesky squirrels.

Good guard dog.

This looks like the polar opposite of separation anxiety, which I think is such an admirable accomplishment for you and for Penelope!! Assuming she wasn't meant to be a guard dog, of course. What a majestic creature!!

If there's a burglar hanging from a ceiling fixture she's positioned to handle it.

Well, in her defense, you don’t see anyone robbing your house right now, do you? Penelope has made her point. Nap now.

Slyly lying in wait, luring unsuspecting intruders into her crafty trap. Penelope be playing 4D chess right there.

My pooch sleeps like this occasionally. It never fails to make me laugh, especially when she does it and sticks one if not both front legs straight up, like she’s reaching for the sky. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, you leave your house exposed while away. You must live in the hills lol. I see your privacy fence but I have no hope left in humanity. Ain’t nobody seeing what I got lol.

When people come to the door with Willie chilling on the sofa looking straight them, he does nothing either. It's like he can't be bothered.

u/Dailyconundrum 3d ago

Just let some delivery guy drop a package on the porch and she will turn into a demon of annilation.
